About Sudonna

Sudonna Harris is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and the strain of life changes. She also supports concerns related to LGBT issues, career stress, compassion fatigue, and perinatal mood disorders including postpartum depression.

Her style is direct and practical. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, then trying different ways of responding. She uses clear, evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques to guide conversations and set achievable steps.

Sudonna draws on mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to help people manage day-to-day symptoms and move toward specific goals. For trauma-related work she incorporates trauma-focused therapy tools to address symptoms and patterns that interfere with daily life. She aims to keep sessions focused and organized so progress is easier to track.

People working with her can expect structured talks that blend listening with specific exercises and homework when useful. She explains ideas in plain language and breaks larger problems into manageable pieces. That practical emphasis supports people who want clear, workable strategies for emotional challenges.

Sudonna practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. She uses a subscription-based payment model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Sudonna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is practical and goal oriented, and it often includes short exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. Client-centered work centers on listening and reflecting so people can clarify their own concerns and choices. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjustments are made over time through conversation and small experiments. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discussing format during the matching questionnaire helps ensure sessions can be scheduled in a way that fits daily life.
